Examples of a verbal redirection:

“I’m noticing some different behaviors from you Jose, and I’m concerned. Right now I need you to participate in class by listening to the lecture and class discussion and not talking.

“Mary, I’m noticing a pattern of coming into our departmental meetings late. In addition, you seem unaware of how loud and disruptive you are to the meeting that has already been going on. Is there something going on that I should know about? Would it be helpful to talk to a counselor at the EAP?”

“Sean, your very frequent text messages are making me uncomfortable. I don’t like them and I need you to stop communicating with me immediately.”
